Pros
Good communicationRequester emails you reminders to do follow ups.
****I've adjusted my completion time to reflect the total time spent on all 3 parts
Cons
****I've adjusted my completion time to reflect the total time spent on all 3 parts.This HIT was part 1 of a three part HIT. (The next two parts are completed via emailed links, not on MTurk). You need to submit the HIT after you finish the first part but, requester is very clear that you won't be paid if you don't complete two more HITs over the following two days.
This is kind of a BS setup because if something happens and you forget/are unable to do either of the follow ups in the allotted time in the next two days, your HIT gets rejected and you don't get paid, even for the first part.
I gave it a whirl anyway since the first part wasn't horrible.
The second day was crap. It's another clicking task. I had to click your mouse inside a small box for a a period of time, averaging a minimum of 6 clicks per second. This is pretty manageable when you only have to do it for a minute or two (like I did on the first day).
On the second day, unfortunately, I had to click for 500 seconds (at an average rate of 6 clicks per minute). If you fail to do this, you have to keep trying until you're successful.
The first time I tried it, I did not succeed. My cursor slipped outside of the box (I'm not sure for how long because I was focused on hammering the stupid thing) so, my average time dropped below six clicks per second. Sooooo, I had to do it over. I was successful on my second try but, due to having to do it twice, I was clicking for nearly 17 minutes. That said, day 2's portion took me almost 20 minutes to complete.
Between the three days, I think I spent about 28 minutes total on this HIT.
Your mileage may vary...I'm guessing not everyone has to do the task for 500 seconds as I did not have that experience in either of the other two trials.
Still, this is just meh. It requires full attention.It has the potential to be physically taxing, especially if someone has carpal tunnel or any similar condition. I'm not sure what happens if you're incapable of meeting the clicking criteria. Do you have to keep trying over and over until you succeed?
Plus, you run the risk of rejection if for whatever reason you can't access either of the surveys on day 2 or 3.

Pros
One simple task, just clicking at a high speed for a period of time.Cons
Requires you to maintain a high rate of clicking for awhile, also requires you to complete 3 more parts over several days in order to receive the $10 payment. I completed the qual and the first part and my wrist cramped up. May not be worth it when all is said and done.

Pros
The first two parts took around five minutes or less. The third part took around ten minutes so the time I gave is a rough estimate.Cons
They should have set this up differently instead of threatening to reject you if you miss a part. You have to give them your email address as well. Overall, it was not as bad as I expected but I did go 'ouch' a few times when I was finished.
